A Sunday at the Museum

We spent (yet) another cold Sunday morning using our museum pass to visit Boston Children's Museum. Even though we've been there many times before, we hadn't been for a while (Fall maybe?) and it was like a whole new place since Sebastien was into different things than before.

Below: We started off in the bubbles section (which we'd never stopped at before) and it was well-liked by both kids.

Below: The most amazing thing about the day was that Sebastien ran straight towards the climbing apparatus as soon as he saw it. Even though it's a giant 4 story structure in the middle of the museum, he never seemed to notice it before. Much to the shock of his parents, he didn't hesitate to climb in and climb all the way to the top! Dan followed alongside as best he could on the adjacent stairwell but Sebastien seemed to have no fear. Dan says he was the youngest kid in there by about 2 years, but that didn't stop him from trying to direct other climbers: "You, up. You down. Go." When he got to the top, he did some sort of cheer for himself and then said "All done. My go down." And that was that and down he came. It took about a half hour all together.
Below: I remember when Sebstien first climbed through these tunnels

so it's pretty cool to see Genevieve strutting through them now. Below: our little construction workers

We used to spend almost all of our time in the room for kids 3 and under. When we stopped by that room on this day, however, Sebastien was clearly bored and we promptly left. Oh how he's growing up! (And I'm seeing some foreshadowing of future struggles- like when Genevieve will want to spend all day in that room but Sebastien won't want to be there at all.) All in all, another great day at the museum.
